Best phone on the market?

roadshow2006 · 04-03-2007, 15:16

What's the best phone on the market at the moment?

_pacman VKC · 04-03-2007, 15:27

definitely NOT nokias lol, I think toss up between samsungs D series and the S.E' K or W series.

ResidentSD · 04-03-2007, 15:28

I would have thought the Sony Ericsson K800i is a good shout.

BoBaDoB · 04-03-2007, 16:34

depends what YOU like in a phone, lots of people like the N80 where as others like the E900 and others like the windows mobile handsets.

its all personal preference.

LOL samsungs along with LG are about the worst

I personally would say the Nokia N73 or the SE k800i.

Finglonga · 04-03-2007, 18:38

I would say the S/E K800i...But again I would as I have got one. Some people hate them, others couldn't care less what they have.

In reality I don't think there is a "best" phone out there.

The K800i has a lot going for it but it's not a brilliant design. They don't seem to have implemented the joystick properly and the camera settings work unintuitively, I had to restore ours to normal settings after someone had f***ed them up and it's not something you could do one handed in a hurry.

Is there a better-designed camera/phone? I'd be happy with 2 megapixels if it was more intuitive to use.

My g/f has the K800i and while its a nice phone i still prefer my N73 to it.

Much lighter and much easier to use. Its slower than the k800i as it uses Symbian based software but you can do much more with it and it has a 3.2mp camera that takes lovely pics.

I would go so far to say the n73 pic quality is better than the k800i but for video the k800i is much better.

I have a SEk800i and an N73.

I prefer the SE, just find it quicker through the menus as the OP mentioned.

There is not much to choose between them though.

Although I would wait and have a look at the N95.

Being popular as you call it doesn't make it good. Nokia's are slow, unreliable and about as well made as a bin bag. But after having an LG I can see why you might think a nokia is good.

Thing is though, that's your opinion and i can guarantee that the majority will disagree with you.

Yes its slightly slow as are all phones that run symbian sw however, i recently flashed my firmware to the Internet edition and by did it make a difference. its muuuuuuch faster than it was when bogged down with 3's firmware. Features wise you cant fault them. The build quality is brilliant as well. Its solid.

plasma-screen · 05-03-2007, 22:04

Nokia N95

Point taken, but they still suck balls.

Big_L · 06-03-2007, 03:33

Yup, I have to say nokia symbian phones are really good at the moment. You can't beat N73, too many softwares and emulators for it.
Nokia N93 is good if you like to take pictures/videos and wifi, but too bulky for me

mocha-latte · 06-03-2007, 07:50

pacman VKC, really

Just gone back to a Nokia and very happy

gazmilne · 06-03-2007, 19:23

What about the SE W880i? Nice piece of equipment.

06-03-2007, 19:44

Well, The iPhone isnt actually out, but I give it a vote.
